Keel gave him one of those looks. Paul wasn’t terribly surprised when he countered with a question of his own. “Where did you?”

Keel steepled his fingers and, much to Paul’s surprise, gave him an answer to his own question. “I quickly realized when I began my investigations that I needed to be prepared against all forms of attack. I… analyzed various martial arts and took classes in Aikido.” A pause. “Then Evelyn taught me what I really needed to know.”
